NICE BASIC GENERATOR

Good value and light weight. It will not do 120 volt and 240 volt at the same time. Selecting 240 volt to use the twist lock plug turns off the 120 volt plugs You must be very careful moving as the handle does not lock and it will get away from you and land on the generator end. I think this may lead to a safety recall in the future. It happen to me the second time I moved it. Overall I really like generator.

Great Generator for the money

I purchased this Generator to replace the one I have had since 2004. I am very pleased with my purchase. I removed it from the carton, put wheels and feet on it. Put oil in the engine, added gas. I wanted to go on and run it for 1 hour for the break end time. Started on the 1st pull, engine running is a great sound. It is not as loud as others I have seen, After running for an hour I stop generator and put it away. Two days later I got it out, started on 1st pull, put a full load on unit and it performed the way I expected it would, outstanding. Thank you for making a product that performs very well. I expect to have this generator for many years to come.

Great Features

Love the folding handles and wheels. Very powerful and gives an even amount of power. Runs a welder well. Very affordable and best machine for the price. People have told me Westinghouse lasts a lifetime. This is my first purchase and very happy with it on the job.

Best Generator

I'm 79 years old and this is the best generator I ever had. It's so easy for me to start, just push the button and it starts right up. I received it in excellent condition and it was very easy for me to add the wheels, oil, and gas. Started right up for me. It's built really good and it's well worth the price. I'm excited to use it. I would advise anyone looking for a generator to buy this one if it fits your needs.

Good Generator!

Easy to use, move, and set up! Our power has been going off regularly ( Grid problems) and this makes like so much easier! My wife is so pleased as she can move it, start it, and plug in the equipment we need with no problem. Very happy with this generator and it's performance.

Well designed, easy start, runs well

What I like: Love the remote and push-button start! Really impressed with the design - everything is well thought out and well made. Generator runs smooth once warmed up and auto-choke turns off. The included oil-fill spout (screws into oil inlet) is a nice accessory. Manual and operation instructions are very well written. What could be better: Manual choke lever is a bit small, somewhat tucked away and not easy to find first time especially in the dark. No information is provided for battery trickle charger that is included.

So Far, So Good

Just received the 5300 with electric start, the quick setup instructions very easy to follow, includes everything -wheels, tool kit, oil and even a funnel ! Gassed it up - pushed the electric start ...... fired right up, average operating sound for a generator, ran smoothly, no leaks or drips ! Gave it a quick test with two 1875w hair dryers ..... no problem ! The WGen replaces a 3500w manual start , I can get spoiled with this electric start ! And like with anyone who buys a home generator "I hope I never use it" but in this New Normal , it will be getting it's use !

After a little thinking.

I pick this up yesterday assembled it. Turned on the gas set chock went to connect battery, there was gas running from the carburetor. Did not try to start it. So today went out tapped the carburetor, turned on the gas again this time no gas linking, connected battery, fired right up no problems runs great.

Quality company at reasonable price

This was a good price for all the features you get. It was easy to set up and this model came with a wheel kit. Many others don't. It seems sturdy and is heavy, so you need wheels to be able to move it. We had to cut the box just to get it out. We haven't run it yet but did a lot of research on portable generators and this has enough power for running our refrigerator and some minor appliances during a power outage. The blue and black color looks nice too.

easy setup and nicely labelled

I just received my Generator and ready to go in about 45 minutes. Westinghouse even supplied a tool bag with the tools needed. A quart of oil plus funnel to make easier and cleaner to fill it. My previous generator, which was only 2 years old and destoryed by a flood, you had use the recoil cord to start. This model comes with a battery so with flick of a switch its on. great feature.
